﻿ GSC’s technical experts have each selected their favorite features in SOLIDWORKS 2018. GSC’s Top 10 Features in SOLIDWORKS 2018 Mesh Modeling Now you can bring in 3D polygon mesh data and incorporate this data into your SOLIDWORKS designs. Mirror 3D

One of the tricks we previously used in SOLIDWORKS 2017 and prior was creating bounding boxes: calculations of boxes that give dimensions to contain the max volume of a box surrounding a part. People would ask how this could be

No matter the SOLIDWORKS rebuild command you use, whether it’s standard rebuild (the “green light” icon) or forced rebuild (CTRL-Q), it’s important to understand what is happening when SOLIDWORKS is building a feature. When a feature is being built, the modeling engine

The best way to ensure SOLIDWORKS runs smoothly on your computer system is with a clean install. Upgrading SOLIDWORKS installations is generally straightforward, but there are different approaches to the upgrade based on your situation. In this blog, we’ll take

It’s that time of year again when SOLIDWORKS announces its latest release and we prepare to share with our customers all the incredible new time-saving features during our rollout events. Admittedly, it’s like an early Christmas for us, but we get

IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR September is here, marking my favorite time of year! You may enjoy this time of year for the cool, crisp air, the leaves changing from green to bright reds, yellows, and orange, and the return

One of the most frustrating parts of the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) world is when a geometry won’t mesh no matter what you do. What’s even more frustrating is when you don’t know what to do about it! Luckily, I’ve found

Happy #Eclipse2017 month! Everyone in the continental United States will see at least a partial solar eclipse on August 21, so even if you’re not traveling to experience “totality,” you’ve got something to look forward to. Here at GSC, all employees have been issued

The quality of your mesh is critical to obtaining accurate results from your analyses. You’ll often hear the term “convergence analysis” tossed around in the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) world. “Convergence analysis” means we want to ensure the mesh in critical areas
